And she’s so desperate, like she knows nothing about this guy other than she really liked his face – nothing about his past, his history. Take everything you've come to love in a Sally Thorne novel: witty banter, a sexy, toe-curling romance, and voice that pirouettes off the page, but add one part Tim Burton.

I staying up late to finish the novel, which features a new character, Victor Frankenstein's brilliant sister and partner in scientific experimentation, Angelika. The original Victor Frankenstein is a terrible human being: he creates life and abandons life, and deserves to die on icefloe in the Arctic.stars, it had such great potential for a great spooky read but just fell flat and was full of unexpected religious messaging and overtones. If you can’t credit me with simply being a person who loves books and likes talking about them, at least credit me with enough common sense to be a better villain. Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match may be one of the weirdest mish mash of books I have read in a long, long time. The other man, Christopher, is supposed to represent everything that Will can't give Angelika (immediate availability, a stable job, a certainty of who he is and what he believes in, a past he actually remembers, the certain ability to have children, etc. all of this was cloaked in decent writing and as a result i didn't fully realize how ridiculous the plot was until i explained it out loud to someone.

However, I was quite disappointed with the romance aspect, and the characters did not endear me to them which left me wanting a lot more.Angelika and her brother Victor gave me a bad first impression in chapter one which they never really fully overcame.
